1. What is the iTotalFind
Publisher Program?
The iTotalFind Publisher Program is a
fast an easy way for web site owners to display relevant, text-based
advertisements on their pages and earn money. Because ads

2. How do I maximize my
revenue?
-
Get started! If you have not
used iTotalFind, you have
left yourself out of a revenue stream for your site. If you so
much as
have a small space on your site that is left unsold, place a
iTotalFind on it.
Something is better than nothing!
-
Place our ad code within your
content! As you add the
ad code into your site, we'll index your web site where the code is
placed to
determine which ads are to be seen. Ads seen on pages with
closely
related content receive higher click-throughs.
-
Provide a keyword whenever possible.
While channel
ads are easy to set up, if you assign a keyword, click-through are
higher (as
well as conversions for our advertisers).
-
Place coding on pages with content.
When ads are seen
on pages that have useful information, ads will have a higher
probability of
being read and clicked.
-
Don't cheat. Do not click on
the iTotalFind Ads on your
own site to increase your revenue. If you cheat, you will be
removed
from our program and all payments will be forfeited.

3. How do I setup
iTotalFind ads as my Google Alternate Ads?
Setting up iTotalFind as a
Google Alternate
If you use the Google
AdSense program, then you will definitely want to read this Frequently
Asked Question.
As a member of the Google
AdSense program, you know that from time to time, Google will display
public service ads (PSAs) when Google is unable to provide AdWords
ads. Since you would not get paid for these PSAs, you can assign
iTotalFind to fill in the otherwise lost space.
What is an Alternate Ad?
Google has described the
Alternate Ads in the AdSense FAQ as:
Alternate Ads allow
you to monetize your ad space in the event that Google is unable to
serve targeted ads to your page. By specifying an image or ad server
of your choice, you can make sure that your advertising space is
always being used effectively, either by targeted AdWords ads, or by
your own choice of content. Alternate Ads count as page impressions
like any other ad. Google does not keep track of clicks on alternate
ads and you will not receive revenue for them.
Alternate Ads, if
specified, will be shown when there are no targeted ads available for
your page. The ad space will not be branded as 'Ads by Google.
To use iTotalFind as the
Alternate Ad provider, just follow these steps:
-
Determine which
layout you are using. As of this FAQ, iTotalFind supports
the Banner, Leaderboard, Skyscraper, and Rectangle.
For this example, we will use the Skyscraper as our example.
-
Create an HTML
page on your web site with ONLY the corresponding ad
code from iTotalFind, in this case, the Skyscraper.
It should look like this.
We named this file alternate.html.
-
Update your
Google AdSense Code. In the Google AdSense Code,
you will add the following line:
google_alternate_ad_url
= "http://yourdomain.com/thepagewecreated.html";
Your ad code should look
something like this:
google_ad_client = "your_google_client_id";
google_alternate_ad_url = "http://yourdomain.com/thepagewecreated.html";
google_ad_width = 120;
google_ad_height = 600;
google_ad_format = "120x600_as";
-
You are done!
When no ads are available from the Google Network, iTotalFind ads
will be displayed.
Please contact
us if you have any questions.

click value and increases up to 50% based on your website's
performance.

10. Why do I only see
ads for iTotalFind?
The most common reason you are seeing
advertisements for iTotalFind instead of our advertisers is due to a
country restriction. Publishers that access their sites
from a country we do not service will see only house served ads
(non-commissionable). This does not mean you are only
showing these ads. Every time a visitor views a page on
your site that contains the iTotalFind Ad Code, we check their
country of origin. If the country is one we service,
advertiser ads will be shown in place of the iTotalFind house ads.

Once you are logged into your account, codes are located under
Integration Tools.

12. Do you allow ads to
be served on search results?
YES! Ads can be placed
within search results of your site. If you have the
technical ability, you can pass the search information to our code
to deliver the most relevant advertisers.
